Lyric

I wore my bow tie neat

Hopped in on two soft feet

Checked the clock with a grin

Then the whole room spun me in

Porcelain, cream, and steam

All went slick like a dream

I tried to keep my seat

But the floor learned how to beat

Tick-tick, tea tray tilt

Sugar cubes in a silk-spun quilt

One more turn, I’m gone

Right where the grin went wrong

Tea cups spin too fast

Tea cups spin too fast

Hold that saucer, hold that laugh

Tea cups spin too fast

Tea cups spin too fast

Tea cups spin too fast

Mind your manners, mind the brass

Tea cups spin too fast

Clink, went a silver spoon

Then the room bowed to the moon

I winked at the sugar jar

Said, “Darlin’, this is too far”

Trouble in a velvet glaze

Joy in a hundred ways

My heart did a little two-step

As the teacup rabbit leapt

Tick-tick, ankle bend

Every spin came back again

One more swirl, one more cheer

Now the fun is over here

Tea cups spin too fast

Tea cups spin too fast

Hold that saucer, hold that laugh

Tea cups spin too fast

Tea cups spin too fast

Tea cups spin too fast

Mind your manners, mind the brass

Tea cups spin too fast

Oh—my!

There goes my hat

Left of the table, right to the cat

A little puff, a little whirl

I’m the happiest dizzy girl

Say it soft, then say it bold

Some things shine when they spin uncontrolled

Tea cups spin too fast

Tea cups spin too fast

Hold that saucer, hold that laugh

Tea cups spin too fast

Tea cups spin too fast

Tea cups spin too fast

Clockwork rabbit, off I dash

Tea cups spin too fast

(Too fast) (Too fast)

(Tea cups spin too fast)
